------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mind Mischief - Tame Impala ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Tim van Kester Tuning: D (whole step down) This is a tab for the song Mind Mischief by Tame Impala. Fun song to play. I'm not really sure about the chords, since I kinda suck in figuring out the chords for every song I tabbed out so far. By the way, I forgot to edit the tuning in the tab. I'm sorry for that. Please post a comment when you have suggestions! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro/ Main riff e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------8h9----8--6--8---4------------------------------------------------| G|-5--6----8h10---8--6--8---5h6p5--5-----------------------------------------| D|-6--8~---------------------------6~----------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Around 1:35, he still plays the main riff, but also this is played: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-8h9--9--9--9---8---6--6--6--64-----8h9--9--9--9---8---6--6--6--64-------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-8h9--9--9--9---8---6--6--6--64-----8h9--9--9--9---8---6--6--6--63~------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Directly after that, this riff is played, with some overdrive: e|---------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------| G|---------8/10---8----------------------------| D|-6--8~-------------8----6-6-6-6-6------6-----| A|-----------------------------------6h8---6h8-| E|---------------------------------------------| This is repeated four times, where the last time misses the 'hammer-on' part. Return to the main riff for a while, then: e|-13-----8-------13-----8-------13-----8-------13-----8---------------------| B|-13-----8-------13-----8-------13-----8-------13-----8---------------------| G|-13-----8-------13-----8-------13-----8-------13-----8---------------------| D|-10-----10------11-----10------11-----10------11-----10--------------------| A|--------10-------------10-------------10-------------10--------------------| E|--------8--------------8--------------8--------------8---------------------| After that, this riff is played again: e|---------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------| G|---------8/10---8----------------------------| D|-6--8~-------------8----6-6-6-6-6------6-----| A|-----------------------------------6h8---6h8-| E|---------------------------------------------| Same number of repeats as before. e|---------------9------8------13-----11-----13-----11-----9------8----------| B|---------------9------8------13-----13-----13-----13-----9------8----------| G|-7/97~--------10-----8------13-----12-----13-----12-----10-----8----------| D|---------------11-----10-----11------------11------------11-----10---------| A|---------------11-----10---------------------------------11-----10---------| E|---------------9------8----------------------------------9------8----------| These chords go on for a while. I'm sorry, but I'm too lazy to count them. They are all 'sets' of B and A#m chords, but sometimes he plays them like above. When he plays the Fm for the third time, this riff comes in: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-8h9-9-8h9p86----4h6-6-4h6p4--------8h9-9-8h9p86----4h6-6-4h6p4----------| G|------------------------------5~----------------------------------5~-------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------8--6~| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Somewhere around 4:03, this lick is also played twice... e|------------------| B|------------------| G|-/10---8--6---5~--| D|------------------| A|------------------| E|------------------| And the song ends with... e|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|-6--8~----------------------------| A|---------/8---6-------------------| E|-----------------6----4-4-4-4-4~--| Under these chords: e|-6--6-6--6-6--6-6-----4-4-4-4-4-| B|-6--6-6--6-6--6-6-----4-4-4-4-4-| G|-6--6-6--6-6--6-6-----5-5-5-5-5-| D|-6--8-8--8-8--8-8-----6-6-6-6-6-| A|-8--8-8--8-8--8-8-----6-6-6-6-6-| E|-6--6-6--6-6--6-6-----4-4-4-4-4-| ************************************ | / slide up | slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
